Saudi Arabia have been a welcome addition to the Gold Cup this summer, and they could yet upset the odds to reach the semi-final stage. The Asian nation passed through the opening round of the competition after winning once and picking up a draw against Trinidad and Tobago.

However, they have already come up short against the very best nations in the tournament after losing 1-0 against the United States. Therefore, they could find life challenging against Mexico based on their showing against the U.S. But, their tournament know-how has been visible in recent history, beating Argentina at the 2022 World Cup.
